I was wondering the same thing about Partnernet and the dev's info, which according to the big 3, is waaaaaaaaaay more important than the consumer's info. People keep thinking that XBL is invincible for some reason. Come on, anyone that has owned a PC has encountered a virus or trojan at least once, whether it's something major or not. How can folks say that they're "safe" over on Microsoft's console?

Before I head to work I always watch CNN, this morning, every time they came back from commercial they were reporting on the PSN outage and how 77 million users personal data and credit card information is NOW in the hands of hackers
They also said Sony has already lost billions of dollars with PSN being down and could even lose MORE if a Class Action Lawsuit is filed.

My debit card was closed and they're having to reissue another one due to this. All my transactions are being declined, and the represenative at the security department of my bank said that it was due to a network being hacked, but she wouldnt say which. I knew it was this though.

meh, as long as psn is up and running before e3, this will all be practically forgotten by e3
the whole reason this is so "outrageous" is because of this overblown 77 million number, and that everyones account info was leaked, most people on this board cant even comprehend what happened, let alone the media
all that will linger past e3 are lawsuits which will probably be dropped or settled once sony proves it did everything within its power to fight cfw, and whatever measly fines they get slapped with
people are worried about fraudent charges that theyre not actually responsible for, the only thing they should be worried about is identity theft in which sony is going to be responsible for credit monitoring, this whole ordeal especially with people suing sony is ridiculous, theyre probably demanding money for things that have yet to happen

[h1]Sony may be hit with £500K fine over PSN data loss[/h1]

The UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), a non-departmental public body, has contacted Sony to determine where PlayStation Network data is stored -- not in an effort to locate the hackers who reportedly grabbed it, but to determine whether any of it is being stored in the UK.
If PSN user data is stored in the UK, then it is subject to the Data Protection Act, which requires companies that hold personal data to provide adequate security for it. Notably, the law would trump Sony's PSN Terms and Conditions, which includes the line: "We exclude all liability for loss of data or unauthorised access to your data, Sony Online Network account or Sony Online Network wallet and for damage caused to your software or hardware as a result of using or accessing Sony Online Network."
"If we found a breach," an ICO rep told Edge, "one of the actions we could take would be to issue an undertaking, which is an agreement between the ICO and the company that if they are handling personal information they have to bring about set improvements in order for them to be compliant with the act." If the company fails to comply, the rep added, "further action would be taken, and we might consider an enforcement notice or issue a monetary penalty." For a serious breach, the fine can reach £500,000 (more than $800,000).
Admittedly, that wouldn't be a huge payout for Sony, but considering the other costs of the security breach and PSN outage the company stands to incur, it would probably sting a little.http://

I'd be willing to forget about this whole thing if Sony sends Natalie Portman and Kevin Butler to my house for 1 week.
Natalie for obvious reasons, and Kevin because he seems like a fun guy to hang out with.
That will only satisfy my wants, though.
You guys will need to come up with your own reimbursement demands.

This will definitely have long term effects. Do you know how many Playstation customers and third party support Sony is going to lose behind this?
I dont either, but I know it's a lot bro. Possibly me.

I feel bad for ya'll. Not having onilne is just a slap in the face. Having your data hijacked is real deal.
It makes me think twice about my information on XBL. I should probably just make the switch to retail microsoft points instead of buying directly online.

the thing is none of us do, you think its high enough to "impact" sony, i think its too low to impact them
the thing is, how are we supposed to know if theres been some "meaningful" impact??? the ps3 is close to having 50 million units sold to consumers, (currently 50 million shipped), if it goes on to reach 60 million, 70, million, or even a hundred in the next 5 years, how can we determine that there was a "meaningful" negative impact?
what third party is going to give up on that nearly 50 million userbase? or now possibly 40 million, or even 30 million thanks to "lost" customers?
another reason this news is so overblown is because theres nothing else meaningful or newsworthy going on in the game industry, or even the world
as for you - im sure youll come out of hiding once sony gives you a glimpse of that ps4

I'm sure companies like Valve and Crytek would mind an exclusive deal with Microsoft. They would still sell units on Windows and Xbox on top of getting that exclusive contract.
Do you realize how much money companies lose from their network being down for just 5 minutes? You know how many parents got that email and are no longer willing to trust Sony with their financial information for the sake of their children playing video games? I think you're underestimating this...

im not even going to get into that first part other than saying that sales = money, and companies like money
as for the 2nd part, it probably seems like im underestimating this because to me the whole world is overreacting to the situation, im sure sonys going to lose customers but like i said, i dont think its going to have any "meaningful" negative impact on the future of the ps3, and more importantly sony...... sony ships 10+ million ps3s every year, if this year they somehow ship less than 10, then ill consider it a huge blow
i just think the whole world is overreacting to this situation as if ZERO ps3s are going to be sold from here on out
this entire 7th console generation sony has had to deal with negative press, and every time theyve fought back

Ill address the first part
Companies that sign exclusive dont make as money as selling if they were to sell to all platforms. Michael Pachter even said that companies such as Bungie and Epic probably regret signing an exclusive deal with Microsoft for this reason.
It seems like the more days that go back the worst it is getting for Sony. Today CP24 (Toronto version of CNN i guess) kept talking about it, like it was the biggest crisis in the world right now. So i think Sony will have a hard time attracting and retaining the causal audience but hardcore will stay.

[h1]Rumor: Sony distributing new security-enhancing SDK to PS3 devs[/h1]

Sony is reportedly making the most of the PlayStation Network's hacker-triggered downtime by providing developers with new security tools to integrate into their games. Gamasutra cites development sourceswho say that they are being asked to begin using a new version of the PS3 SDK prior to PSN going back online, something that's supposed to happen within the next seven days.
Joystiq has reached out to its own development sources in an attempt to confirm this report. If you're a developer with insight into the steps Sony is taking to secure PSN against future security breaches, we'd love to hear from you at [email protected].http://

Right. Fans of exclusives, basically. And those are few and far between now.
